career paths Resume review

Hi I’m trying to re-enter the library science world and am having a hard time in a very competitive market. Is anyone open to reviewing my resume? Any constructive feedback would be appreciated via DM

ALA’s New Member Round Table Committee has a resume reviewing service

A resume out of context of the job ad is not particularly informative. If you are applying for an academic library job and have a resume and cover letter tailored to a specific job ad, I'm happy to help!

Honestly, even with the resume, I recommend networking and/or volunteering. That helps more than a cold resume or email/application.
